2026-10-24-cursor-environment-cli-automation-must-drop-the-ref-flag-and-use-public-delete-ids
Environment CLI automation must drop the ref flag and use public delete IDs. agent env get no longer accepts --ref; agent env delete requires the public ID shown by list instead of the old numeric ID. Get also lists personal saved environments.
Channel: tagged-release. Half: both. Date: 2026-10-15.
Operator consequence: Update saved identifiers and scripts before rerunning destructive automation. The redeploy command in section 2 is an addition; it does not preserve this removed flag or the numeric-ID contract.
